... The unknown suspects jumped over a security gate, used an unknown hard object to smash the side glass door and entered the residence. Once inside the home the suspects searched the location looking for items of value. The suspects located the victim's safe in the walk-in closet and used the rug outside of the bedroom to move the safe down the stairs and out the front door.

This doesn't make these guys sound like pros. Maybe they just got "lucky."

All this was happening in the early evening on one of the busiest residential streets in L.A., with security cameras everywhere.

Police said the safe contained documents. too.

Anyone with info on the theft was asked to call detectives at 213-486-6983.
